FAQ
What counts as a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, broken or cracked tooth, lost filling or crown, abscess or swelling, and injury to the mouth or jaw. If you're unsure, call us — we'll help you determine if you need immediate care.
Can you see me the same day?
Yes! We reserve time in our daily schedule for emergency patients. Call (442) 317-7000 and we'll get you in as quickly as possible — often the same day.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse gently with water, and try to place it back in the socket. If that's not possible, keep it in milk or between your cheek and gums. Call us immediately — time is critical for saving the tooth.
I have a severe toothache — what can I do while waiting?
Rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove any trapped food, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums. Call us right away for an appointment.
Do you treat dental emergencies for non-patients?
Absolutely. If you have a dental emergency, we'll see you regardless of whether you're an established patient. Your comfort and health come first.
